jQuery has provided support to detect browser up to 1.8 version event it is deprecated from 1.3 but from 1.9 version browser support is removed from jQuery.If needed, we can use jQuery Migrate plugin, it is available in jQuery Migrate plugin.


From jQuery 1.9 Upgrade Guide 

The jQuery.browser() method has been deprecated since jQuery 1.3 and is removed in 1.9. If needed, it is available as part of the jQuery Migrate plugin. We recommend using feature detection with a library such as Modernizr.
